Termite Baiting
For subterranean infestation, using termite bait is the best form of treatment for them. The main reason for this is to ensure that they are still alive and active to bring back the baits to the queen and colony. This slow acting method is effective because it will not kill them on the spot such as spraying. As they are social insects, they tend to share their food. Feeding them the baits will ensure that the baits will be shared in the termite colonies.

- Termite droppings/ Faecal pellets are about 1mm long and coloured according to the wood being eaten. It is a proven signs of Drywood Termites infestation.
Since infestation is direct not via ground. The most successful methods of control is by fumigation or local treatment or replacement of the infested wood and kill termites. Fumigation is highly recommended if infestations are widespread and/ or difficult to access.
Fumigation
Some items can be treated by using a fumigation service. Arrangement needs to be made to bring the items over to a fumigation warehouse. Fumigation is highly toxic but the most effective treatment for dry wood.
Unfortunately, not all items can be treated with fumigation. Fixtures such as build-in wardrobe, kitchen cabinet that cannot be dismantled.
Foam / Chemical Spraying
For some infested fixtures such as door frames or bulky items that are not easily shifted around. Alternative treatment such as foam or chemical spraying can be chosen. Our technician will drill holes to the affected area to soak the affected wood. This will kill them when they come in contact with the treated wood.
Misting Treatment
Misting treatment will leave a residual on the affected and potential area. Especially during the swarming season, more termite alates will start flying in to start a new harbouring area. The residual treatment will prevent more the alates from forming a new colony in your property. A cycle of 3 to 5 rounds of treatments is needed to bring the infestation down.
